a polished royal blue
just like my other one
guitar i should've bought that day
but i was dumb
so i called my mom
hinted pretty strong
christmas day is coming
found a present for your son
sunshine melts fresh snow and dreams

i hinted for two weeks
every lapse in conversation said "this guitar mom, you should see.
and as a gift a happy christmas this would be"

Feeling pretty good
with confident desire
i start to write a song about my new guitar
so when that morning comes
and my parents give with love
they'll hear the perfect song performed by their perfect son

opened christmas morning stash
went through all my gifts
they had let me down
but i got a load of cash
i'll go to the store and buy it myself
boxing day was closed
not to worry i'll come back the next day
the next day it had sold
left with this song and no new guitar to play it on.
